And we pour out the deepest questions of our heart to our modern-day god: “Why is he not calling me back?” “How do you know if you should get a divorce?” And answers, mysteriously, appear. Google’s algorithms, a work of divine intervention in the eyes of most of us, summon compilations of useful information. The Mountain View search firm answers the questions that plague us, trivial and profound, easing our suffering. Its search results are our benediction: “Go. Take your newfound knowledge and live a better life.”
